interval
The word 'interval' is a countable noun. This means you can use it in the singular (an interval) or plural (intervals). In everyday English, it most commonly refers to a period of time that separates two events or occurrences. If you are studying music, an interval specifically describes the distance in pitch between two different notes. In mathematics, the term is used more technically to describe a range of numbers that fall between two specific endpoints.
